Debbie Smyth — Disegnare con un filo

Di questi ultimi tempi capita empre più spesso di imbattersi nel lavoro di artisti che usano lane, fili di cotene, uncinetto e tessuti vari per creare le proprie opere. Ultimo esempio, per lo meno in termini di scoperta, è quello della designer Debbie Smyth, che già nel “lontano” 2008 aveva presentato in occasione del London Design Festival una serie di lavori ricavati unicamente con filo di cotone e una notevole quantità di spilli.
Originaria di Cheltenham, la Smyth crea opere d’arte giocose ma sofisticate che riflettono la sua capacità di sfruttare, con superba maestria e precisione, l’essenza di un’immagine e ricrearla valicando il confine tra la seconda e la terza dimensione.

Talk to Me, an exhibit at MoMA
July 24–November 7, 2011
Whether openly and actively or in subtle, subliminal ways, things talk to us. Tangible and intangible, and at all scales—from the spoon to the city, the government, and the Web, and from buildings to communities, social networks, systems, and artificial worlds—things communicate. They do not all speak up: some use text, diagrams, visual interfaces, or even scent and temperature: others just keep us company in eloquent silence.
The purpose of design began to shift in the late 20th century from utility toward a more holistic combination of purpose and meaning. Thus far, 21st-century culture is centered on interaction: “I communicate, therefore I am” is the defining affirmation of contemporary existence, and objects and systems that were once charged only with formal elegance and functional soundness are now also expected to have personalities. Contemporary designers do not just provide function, form, and meaning, but also must draft the scripts that allow people and things to develop and improvise a dialogue.

"A Day in the Life of a Graphic Designer"

Pin It Now!
Another Day. Another Dropshadow.

The dream of a graphic designer is to create meaningful designs that communicate on a visual, intellectual and emotional level. It is the joy of being creative and having someone pay you to do it. But the reality of that dream is that it often comes with the heavy price on the creative soul. There are endless meetings, client revisions, committee-mandated direction, project managers who are frustrated art directors, long hours and often little recognition. These are the daily and universal struggles of a graphic designer and this is my loving tribute to those in the design trenches. May the creative concept never be forgotten and the good fight always be fought.
If you are a graphic designer then this poster is for you, or if you have a friend or loved one that is a graphic designer this would be a great gift! Perfect for office, cubicle or home studio, show your solidarity!

Here’s an interesting project by Romania-based Stefan Asafti.

Brandversations

Brandversations

“There have always existed disputes among the competing parties, divergent opinions, while the fans of each brand were convinced that theirs was the best product. Last, but not least, the rivals have even conducted ad campaigns against the competing brands. This project mostly approaches the visual “conversations” between the company logos and the ways that they influence each other, hence the name of the project, Brandversations. It is a parallel between the modern and the old, some of the slogans dating back to the 40s and 50s.”

Does the brand name overpower the shape of the mark, or vice versa?

Piotr Kaczmarek - Leafless Trees

Pin It Now!
Check out this website I found at new-mag.com
Just to show you what I am currently working on, I attached a few samples of photographic collages. Though I am using a digital camera, I am not manipulating the photographs beyond what would be possible applying standard darkroom techniques. The physical structure of the collage also reflects the source material: one photo - one piece of paper. I chose the leafless trees as a subject because I was interested in a clear visual representation of a complex structure; starting from the high level of defined spaces between tree canopies, then the obvious organization of branches, and patterns of twigs. I like the drawing-like line qualities of the subject. What the collages are after is to reveal the fractal nature of these organic shapes. The overlaid sequence of images smoothly zooms in from one level to the next and to the next taking advantage of the consistency of the system repeating similar patterns at different levels. To achieve the effect of the viewer being drawn into a set of distinct spaces, I have to start with sizeable pieces allowing the deepest, smallest, layer of the buildup to be big enough to show recognizable detail.
